other representatives cause such condition to exist. The foregoing indemnification obligations of
Developer shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

based upon its Inspections, Developer has determined that the condition of all portions of the
Property are satisfactory to Developer and Developer shall accept every portion of the Property
inits"AS IS, WHERE IS" condition.

any title defect(s) or expend any funds to cure any title defect(s) not in a liquidated amount. In
the event the CRA, using commercially reasonable diligent efforts, attempts to cure the title

commercially reasonable efforts, Developer shall have the option on the Closing Date of: (i)
waiving the title defect(s) and accepting title "as is" whereupon the title defect(s) will be deemed

whereupon the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall be returned to the
Developer and the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement,
